WATCH: The ‘Zero-G Helmet’ Revolutionizes Fighter Pilot Displays

Air & Space Forces Magazine Editor-in-Chief Tobias Naegele visited Elbit America’s exhibit at AFA’s 2025 Air, Space & Cyber Conference in National Harbor, Md., to explore the next evolution in helmet-mounted display technology: the Zero-G Helmet.

Jeff Hoberg, Elbit America’s General Manager, breaks down the revolutionary helmet’s digital waveguide design and how Elbit America purpose-built it for sixth-generation combat aircraft. Offering high-resolution color displays, wider fields of view, integrated augmented reality, and 25–30% less weight, the Zero-G Helmet enhances pilot comfort while giving aircrews the ability to process and act on massive streams of sensor data.
